Fruits of my Labors

Here's a sneak peek of the small vases that just came out of the gloss firing in my kiln. I will be debuting them on Saturday at the Amherst Farmers Market in our Leyden Glen Lamb booth. The hours are 8 to 1:30. I'll try to take some photos of the set-up so you can see how the vases are displayed.

I ordered a small wooden display rack from this shop on Etsy. It looks like mini stairs and was designed for selling homemade soaps which are a brisk mover at many farmers markets. I made sure that all my vases would fit on the stairs. It is very well made and was ready for paint. I painted it yesterday and it is all set to go tomorrow. Here's a close-up of some of the vases. This is all a grand experiment. At this point I don't plan to put any of them on-line but we shall see. I've got to concentrate getting more work done for the Garlic and Arts Festival at the end of September.

Have a great weekend everyone and maybe I will see some of you tomorrow.
